And what about WalMart? They are, by far, more responsible for poor working conditions in China as they continue to squeeze pennies out of their suppliers, and move more of their purchases out of this country? Why aren't they mentioned? This is all just some more politically correct garbage.

Yeah Walmart is EVIL. They are responsible for even making working conditions worse in our countries (Canada and the US). They pay staff less than any other department store chain so they can kill off competing department stores that do pay they're staff better.

Just watch the department stores die in Canada, and the US vultures Walmart and Target scavenge the meat off the bones. First Eatons, then Zellers, who's next SEARS? Hudsons Bay Co.?

The Bay is already toast.

Hell, Walmart won't let unions start in Canada... just think of the conditions they accept in China.

Then they'd turn around and write it off their taxes as a 'charitable contribution'.

I doubt that. Most people don't contribute to charity, and there would be no guarantee that this would be allowed as a charitable cause rather than a contribution to a foreign entity, or as a political donation of some kind.

But, I'd like to see it done. If there were a way to get some back in taxes, then fine. But even that only gets about 33% back, at most.

Of course, it's companies like Apple that are transforming the Chinese worker into a richer person. If they could do all of their manufacturing elsewhere, China would lose as many as 1.5 million jobs related to Apple alone. Then those people could all go back to their poor farms, or camp out around the big cities and riot.

to see AI actually *hostile* to efforts (however conflicted) calling for improving working conditions in Apple factories.

Trying reading it again.

AI isn't hostile to the efforts but to groups claiming credit for something that the facts show they really had zero to do with. FLA was in the mix ages before these two sites started their efforts. That claim of credit when it isn't due is way AI is hostile about
